Gabriel Asael Tarigan, S.Kom., M.Kom.

I am a Lecturer Specialist and AI Researcher at BINUS University, School of Computer Science, where I serve as a Subject Developer and do Community Outreach for the Artificial Intelligence program. I design and author the program’s core AI/ML curricula, engineer the production systems that run them (competitive machine learning platforms, automated evaluation portals, interactive visual learning tools), and supervise a broad range of student projects and national competition teams. I was selected from more than 63,000 applicants to join Bangkit Academy, the Google-led career-readiness program, and selected for BINUS University’s Faculty Development Program (FDP), which fully funded my master’s degree.

Research Interests

  • Computer Vision: Pose estimation, skeletal keypoint tracking, and engagement detection.
  • Deep Learning & Architectures: Hybrid neural models, parallelized LSTM-GRU networks, and Vision Transformers.
  • Time-Series Forecasting: Multivariate financial and sequential signal modeling.
  • ML Systems & MLOps: End-to-end model monitoring, edge inference, and lightweight LLM integration.
